How did ancient Greek theatres decide on which tragedy to perform?

∙ 10y ago
Tragedies were written specifically for performance during religious festivals. Each author put forward his latest work, and those selected by the festival organisers were performed for the first time during the festival.
Each day would be a trilogy of tragedies by the same author, followed by a satyr play and then a comedy to make a full day's entertainment. The best plays during the whole festival were awarded prizes.
Once performed these plays could be exported to other cities, and the best ones were repeated over and over. A few have survived and are performed today, but as theatre rather than as a religious celebration.
